The scale says 20 pounds lost, but...

...the clothes don't seem to fit any different. Did anyone else experience this early after surgery? In my pre-surgery world, 20 lbs would be a new size...

I have been a size 18 at 175lbs and at 220 lbs. so for me I am not expecting a new pant size for a while! Congrats on the 20 down though. Are you just a few weeks out? My belly was swollen for like 3 weeks so even though I lost 20 in the first 2 weeks my clothes fit even more tight than they did before surgery.

It's normal. I was very dissappointed in the beginning because even though my clothes fit pre-surgery, they didn't fit for a few weeks after and I was loosing weight. It didn't make sense to me. In hindsight I was very swollen I think it was mostly due to all that gas.

Thanks...I know I just need to be patient, but I'm not!! I was sleeved May 8, so I'm only 10 days post-op (and thrilled with the loss, don't get me wrong!)
